Which Bilstein shock is best for my RV?
I have a '94 28ft Minnie Winnie. I think it's more like 30ft bumper to bumper. I see Bilstein offers two shocks - the HD and the Comfort. They say the comfort is recommended for RV's under 30ft and...

I've talked to a lot of people about the Bilsteins and have pretty much concluded to go with the HD when I change my stock Ford shocks. I have a 24'. I've had more than one person tell me the comfort shocks are valved similarly to the stock Ford shock.
But...I'm willing to compromise ride a bit for more buttoned down feeling. I also think some of the E450 ride deficiencies are due to impact harshness and not completely under the control of the shocks (any shock is going to allow some of that through due to it being more of a tire/suspension issue).
There are several other shocks people may bring up. Certainly worth keeping an open mind on them too. Wish I had the resources to try them all on my motorhome and choose my favorite!
